Update issue from custom package

Something is off with the update mechanism regarding my Matrix package. I have to manually look for updates and manually upgrade it. I migrated the package from msbt's predecessor by adding it to the official app update channel.

@yusf I created a new topic.

In the previous release, we changed the update polling frequency. It could be just that. We poll only 1 time a day now, previously we used to a poll for updates like every hour. This was putting a lot of load on our appstore server for no real benefit. In the next release, we have reached a compromise of polling 4 times a day. Is this what you are seeing?

yusf

I doubt it but I'll keep better tabs on the duration between version release and any delays in automatic upgrading.

yusf

Still on Matrix package 1.2.0 here. Automatic Updates currently enabled, of course.

msbt

@yusf mine updated 4 days ago

@yusf Try disabling then re-enabling auto updates??

I suspect the appStoreId is not set correctly in the database (since @yusf is coming from a custom app).

can you check what this provides (you have to substitute the theappid` below (this is the id in the url bar when you go the configure view of the app):

mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT appStoreId FROM apps WHERE id='theappid'"

yusf

@murgero Did try that, yes.

Missed the database name in the command line:

mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT appStoreId FROM box.apps WHERE id='theappid'"

Think I found the culprit:

Let's see if it triggers the update tonight.

yusf

Alas it did not. It's still prompting me to manually update.

@yusf I think I know what might be the problem. IIRC, the custom synapse package used very high version numbers. When I published to App Store, I reset it back to 0.1.0.

Can you get the output of this:



    mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "SELECT manifestJson FROM box.apps WHERE id='theappid'"

@yusf said in Update issue from custom package:

"version":"1.2.0"

Looks like @girish suspicion was correct. I think the best way to migrate this would be to follow https://cloudron.io/documentation/backups/#import-app-backup by installing a new fresh app and importing there the backup of the old one. (until the new one works, do not uninstall the old one)

We used to have a way in the command line tool to override an app with a specific app package version, but that seems to have gone missing with the move from cloudron install to cloudron update. Have to see if this is worth bringing back.

yusf

@nebulon Thanks. Will try it.

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
